Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Luxio sells for $95.07 against $1.03 raw: a $94.04 spread, 92× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($95.07) 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.
