Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Captain America [Platinum] #104 sells for $269 against $109 raw: a $160 spread, 2.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($244) 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.
