Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Marcelo Mayer [Orange Mojo] #BGP-4 sells for $272 against $116 raw: a $156 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($248) 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.

Raw (NM): $116
Grade 9.5: $272
PSA 9: $248
