Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Nancy Lieberman-Cline [Court Collection] #23 sells for $48.00 against $7.29 raw: a $40.71 spread, 6.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.00) 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.
