Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ash Gonzales sells for $14,762 against $355 raw: a $14,407 spread, 42× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($13,420) 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.
