Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tetairoa McMillan [Purple] #37 sells for $9,900 against $4,950 raw: a $4,950 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($9,000) 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.
