Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Guillermo Ochoa [Green] #IC-5 sells for $254 against $0.99 raw: a $253 spread, 257× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($231) 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.
