Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Dave Concepcion #267 sells for $103 against $6.96 raw: a $96.04 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($93.49) 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.
