Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Black Cat [Gold Foil] #47 sells for $40.00 against $4.92 raw: a $35.08 spread, 8.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($36.72) 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.
