Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Charles De Ketelaere [Neon Green Refractor] #CA-CD sells for $47.00 against $11.74 raw: a $35.26 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.99) 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.
