Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Colonel Hathi [Orange Wave Refractor] #110 sells for $53.00 against $21.50 raw: a $31.50 spread, 2.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.00) 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.
