Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Reece James [Green Prizm] #243 sells for $67.00 against $7.81 raw: a $59.19 spread, 8.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($61.00) 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.
