Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Darnell Mooney [Autograph Silver] #191 sells for $76.00 against $25.83 raw: a $50.17 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($68.79) 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.
