Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Peter Alonso [Green] #PA-PA sells for $264 against $125 raw: a $139 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($240) 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.
