Is D.J. Fluker #285 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 D.J. Fluker #285 sells for $223 against $2.08 raw: a $221 spread, 107× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($202) 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): $2.08
Grade 9.5: $223
PSA 9: $202
