Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Mike Trout [Unripped] #RIP-17 sells for $190,334 against $150 raw: a $190,184 spread, 1267× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99,358) 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.
