Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Freddie Freeman [Black] #CAE-11 sells for $160 against $84.27 raw: a $75.73 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($146) 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.
