Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Adam Pelech [High Gloss] #465 sells for $162 against $72.94 raw: a $89.06 spread, 2.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($147) 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.
