Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Brandon Marsh [Orange] #FA-BM sells for $77.00 against $19.99 raw: a $57.01 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($69.99) 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.
