Is Cam Skattebo [Gold] #5 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Cam Skattebo [Gold] #5 sells for $1,929 against $300 raw: a $1,629 spread, 6.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,754) 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): $300
Grade 9.5: $1,929
