Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A SGC 10 Merida [Green] #37 sells for $360 against $94.99 raw: a $265 spread, 3.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($180) 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.
