Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Patrick Surtain II [Autograph] #PMR-34 sells for $83.00 against $40.00 raw: a $43.00 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.00) 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.
