Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Avery Howell #EA-AH sells for $57.20 against $16.50 raw: a $40.70 spread, 3.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($54.30) 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.
