Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Danny Murtaugh [Script Name on Back] #124 sells for $442 against $14.63 raw: a $427 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($402) 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.
