Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Brandon Scherff [Autograph Refractor] #82 sells for $165 against $13.99 raw: a $151 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($150) 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.
