Is Brasil worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Brasil sells for $186 against $54.31 raw: a $132 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($169) 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.

Raw (NM): $54.31
Grade 9.5: $186
