Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Unbreakable BARNEY [Aqua] #213b sells for $215 against $166 raw: a $48.74 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($195) 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.
