Is Don Beebe [Refractor] #67 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Don Beebe [Refractor] #67 sells for $54.00 against $15.75 raw: a $38.25 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.00) 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): $15.75
