Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kirill Kaprizov #AZ-11 sells for $51.00 against $13.81 raw: a $37.19 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.30) 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.
