Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Curtis Enis #57 sells for $110 against $2.39 raw: a $108 spread, 46× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.99) 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.
