Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Matisse Thybulle [Gold] #FB-MTH sells for $135 against $27.16 raw: a $108 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($123) 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.
