Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Von Miller [Rookie Patch Autograph Green Refractor] #27 sells for $89.00 against $6.77 raw: a $82.23 spread, 13× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.93) 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.
