Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Jehan Daruvala [Sapphire] #130 sells for $66.00 against $1.34 raw: a $64.66 spread, 49× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($60.38) 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.
