Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Chuck Person #10 sells for $787 against $3.64 raw: a $783 spread, 216× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($200) 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.
