Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jerry Stackhouse #11 sells for $83.00 against $6.92 raw: a $76.08 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.77) 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.
