Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Thor [Legendary Orange] #84 sells for $250 against $94.01 raw: a $156 spread, 2.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($228) 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.
