Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Randall Cunningham #61 sells for $55.00 against $0.57 raw: a $54.43 spread, 96× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.99) 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.
