Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Andrew Painter #CDA-AP sells for $8,712 against $79.07 raw: a $8,633 spread, 110× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($7,920) 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.
