Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ivan Herrera [Electric Orange Autograph] #215 sells for $104 against $17.92 raw: a $86.08 spread, 5.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($94.99) 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.
