Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Andrew McCutchen [Refractor] #C1 sells for $100 against $4.99 raw: a $95.01 spread, 20× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($90.51) 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.
