Holding a clean raw copy? Grade it. You only need about a one-in-ten shot at a 10 to beat selling it raw. Buying? Skip raw entirely, since raw costs more than a PSA 9 does at auction. Just buy it in the Target zone under $2,750 and not off the Buy-It-Now wall, and look at ALT and Fanatics Weekly first: they have run 3% to 11% under eBay all year. On a budget, a PSA 9 at auction (about $940) is cheaper than a raw copy on eBay. Volume has dropped by three quarters since May, and sellers are starting to blink.
