Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ghost-Spider [Padparadscha] #SS-2 sells for $33,000 against $4,300 raw: a $28,700 spread, 7.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30,000) 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.
