Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Josh Jacobs [Cosmic] #CT-9 sells for $109 against $21.30 raw: a $87.70 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.00) 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.
