Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Anton Lundell #187 sells for $174 against $1.02 raw: a $173 spread, 171× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($158) 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.
