Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Mac Jones [Orange Pulsar Prizm] #183 sells for $217 against $90.00 raw: a $127 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($198) 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.
