Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Checklist 2 [160 Is Jack Lynch] #190 sells for $259 against $17.86 raw: a $241 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($236) 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.
