Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Zina Saunders #264 sells for $91.00 against $2.11 raw: a $88.89 spread, 43× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($83.00) 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.
