Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Michael Olise [Blue Shimmer Prizm] #296 sells for $4,697 against $650 raw: a $4,047 spread, 7.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,270) 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.
