Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 King Arthur [Foil] sells for $762 against $46.95 raw: a $715 spread, 16× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($693) 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.
