Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 MALLORY PUGH SWANSON [silver] #LS-MPU sells for $101 against $35.76 raw: a $65.24 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($91.99) 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.
