Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Checklist 110-196 [Brown Fine Mesh] #107 sells for $315 against $4.99 raw: a $310 spread, 63× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($286) 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.
