Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Lourdes Gurriel Jr. [Chrome Refractor] #CPA-LGU sells for $45.00 against $11.10 raw: a $33.90 spread, 4.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.48) 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.
