Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Brandon Crawford [Blue Refractor] #25 sells for $63.00 against $31.47 raw: a $31.53 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($56.86) 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.
