Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Julio Jones [Gold] #K-JJ sells for $1,293 against $1,114 raw: a $179 spread, 1.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,175) 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.
