Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Lillymon ACE [Alternate Art Foil] #BT14-049 sells for $33.00 against $4.49 raw: a $28.51 spread, 7.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.99) 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.
