Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Mr. Smee [Logo Refractor] #161 sells for $77.00 against $24.50 raw: a $52.50 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.00) 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.
