Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Amadou Onana [Gold Refractor] #CA-AO sells for $138 against $25.14 raw: a $113 spread, 5.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($125) 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.
