Is Testy TY [Red] #24b worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Testy TY [Red] #24b sells for $246 against $46.06 raw: a $200 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($223) 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): $46.06
Grade 9.5: $246
PSA 9: $223
