Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Connor Bedard [Gold] #P-5 sells for $489 against $367 raw: a $122 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($444) 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): $367
Grade 9.5: $489
