Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9 Eric Paschall [Gold Prizm] #279 sells for $741 against $0.25 raw: a $741 spread, 2965× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($741) 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.
