Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Larry Jeffrey #41 sells for $104 against $1.32 raw: a $103 spread, 79× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($94.99) 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.
