Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Thomas Bryant [Horizontal Autograph Cracked Ice] #140 sells for $106 against $39.61 raw: a $66.39 spread, 2.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($96.39) 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.
