Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Randy Moffitt #156 sells for $101 against $3.24 raw: a $97.76 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($91.77) 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.
