Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Travis Fryman [Refractor] #135 sells for $148 against $38.17 raw: a $110 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($134) 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.
