Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Under Attack! #74 sells for $38.00 against $1.59 raw: a $36.41 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.99) 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.
