Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tim Anderson [Chrome Refractor] #674 sells for $150 against $5.00 raw: a $145 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($79.94) 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.
