Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Punisher #MM29 sells for $49.00 against $7.81 raw: a $41.19 spread, 6.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.99) 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.
