Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bob Trumpy [Autograph] #AL-175 sells for $2,420 against $449 raw: a $1,971 spread, 5.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,200) 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.
