Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 JASON Basin [Gold] #14b sells for $281 against $69.00 raw: a $212 spread, 4.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($255) 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.
