Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A SGC 10 Raul Jimenez [Optic Autograph] #150 sells for $130 against $80.53 raw: a $49.47 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($113) 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.
