Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Rey Comeau #346 sells for $32.00 against $1.24 raw: a $30.76 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.16) 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.
