Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Brice Sensabaugh [Choice Tiger Stripe] #177 sells for $223 against $97.99 raw: a $125 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($203) 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.
