Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Orioles Team [No Date White Back] #100 sells for $2,672 against $11.35 raw: a $2,661 spread, 235× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,429) 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.
