Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Charlie Morton [Refractor] #BDP51 sells for $54.00 against $5.75 raw: a $48.25 spread, 9.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.95) 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.
