Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Cruz Ramirez [Gold] #88 sells for $40.00 against $5.40 raw: a $34.60 spread, 7.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($36.00) 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.
