Is Trevor Rogers [Autograph] #4A worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Trevor Rogers [Autograph] #4A sells for $35.00 against $4.19 raw: a $30.81 spread, 8.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32.00) 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.
