Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Henry Martin [Purple] #83 sells for $77.00 against $13.29 raw: a $63.71 spread, 5.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($69.99) 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.
