Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 C. J. Stroud [Tie Dye] #102 sells for $116 against $73.20 raw: a $42.80 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($105) 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.

Raw (NM): $73.20
