Is it worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Karim Garcia [Refractor] #79 sells for $105 against $9.33 raw: a $95.67 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($95.00) 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.
