Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Julio Jones [Prizm] #12 sells for $58.00 against $16.67 raw: a $41.33 spread, 3.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($52.50) 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.
