Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jimmy Graham [Blue Refractor] #BSAJG sells for $88.00 against $25.42 raw: a $62.58 spread, 3.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.00) 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.
