Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ambassador Turais [Black] #EL-6 sells for $109 against $26.55 raw: a $82.45 spread, 4.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.00) 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.
