Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Henrik Zetterberg [Black Refractor] #182 sells for $468 against $228 raw: a $240 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($425) 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.
