Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Rico Garcia [Blue] #RRS-RG sells for $44.00 against $9.00 raw: a $35.00 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.95) 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.
