Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 C. J. Stroud #PKA-CJS sells for $140 against $39.99 raw: a $100 spread, 3.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($128) 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.
