Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Brad Lambert [Red] #HV-31 sells for $37.00 against $7.29 raw: a $29.71 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.21) 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.
