Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Rafael Devers [Gold Refractor] #RD sells for $74.00 against $33.49 raw: a $40.51 spread, 2.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($67.00) 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.
