Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wayne Gretzky [Foil] #326 sells for $127 against $12.20 raw: a $115 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($115) 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.
