Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Bryce Harper [Black] #BA-7 sells for $2,662 against $1,425 raw: a $1,237 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,420) 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.
