Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 BILL Ding [Yellow Refractor] #176b sells for $61.00 against $3.76 raw: a $57.24 spread, 16× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.00) 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.
