Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Checklist 1-66 sells for $3,162 against $134 raw: a $3,028 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,875) 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.
