Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Marco Luciano [Sky Blue Foil] #BD-190 sells for $31.00 against $0.87 raw: a $30.13 spread, 36× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.85) 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.
