Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Boomerang [Gold] #114 sells for $32.00 against $0.99 raw: a $31.01 spread, 32× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.50) 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.
