Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Detlef Schrempf #69 sells for $389 against $1.55 raw: a $387 spread, 251× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($354) 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.
