Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Andres Gimenez [Atomic] #BS-AG sells for $38.00 against $6.87 raw: a $31.13 spread, 5.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.99) 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.
