Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Todd Greene [Refractor] #75 sells for $87.00 against $12.34 raw: a $74.66 spread, 7.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($79.12) 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.
