Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Leslie Nunamaker [Hand Cut] #7 sells for $443 against $82.00 raw: a $361 spread, 5.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($403) 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): $82.00
