Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Ted Williams #T90-26 sells for $50.00 against $1.48 raw: a $48.52 spread, 34× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.00) 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.
