Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Andrei Kirilenko [Refractor] #64 sells for $41.00 against $4.73 raw: a $36.27 spread, 8.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.35) 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.

Raw (NM): $4.73
