Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Checklist 110-196 [170 is D McAuliffe] #103 sells for $364 against $63.91 raw: a $300 spread, 5.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($331) 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.
