Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Moses Malone [Die Cut] #P4 sells for $46.00 against $5.00 raw: a $41.00 spread, 9.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.64) 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.
