Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Austin Riley [Orange] #RCA-ARI sells for $201 against $119 raw: a $81.79 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($183) 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.
