Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 CJ Stroud [Jupiter] #PPJ-CS sells for $253 against $100 raw: a $153 spread, 2.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($230) 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): $100
Grade 9.5: $253
PSA 9: $230
Gem premium: 2.5×
