Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Mario Lemieux [Green Prizm] #151 sells for $242 against $32.75 raw: a $209 spread, 7.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($220) 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.
