Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 DK Metcalf [Holo] #BS-DMT sells for $72.00 against $31.07 raw: a $40.93 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($65.00) 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.

Raw (NM): $31.07
Grade 9.5: $72.00
