Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Winona sells for $2,258 against $38.19 raw: a $2,219 spread, 59× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($91.79) 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.
