Is Jerry May #13 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Jerry May #13 sells for $214 against $15.75 raw: a $198 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($195) 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.
