Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Lance Lynn [Refractor Autograph] #BCP115 sells for $120 against $16.67 raw: a $103 spread, 7.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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.
