Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Johnny Moore #76 sells for $9,849 against $8.60 raw: a $9,840 spread, 1145× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($165) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
