Is Johnny Bench #JBE worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Johnny Bench #JBE sells for $330 against $110 raw: a $220 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($225) 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.

Raw (NM): $110
