Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Marvin Williams #62 sells for $55.00 against $3.25 raw: a $51.75 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.00) 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.
