Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jean Gilles Marotte #59 sells for $119 against $5.48 raw: a $114 spread, 22× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($109) 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.
