Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Zack Steffen [Orange Refractor] #76 sells for $198 against $104 raw: a $94.26 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($180) 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.
