Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Malik Monk [Patch Autograph] #111 sells for $1,052 against $217 raw: a $836 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($616) 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.
