Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Peter Porker [Precious Metal Gems Red] #165 sells for $199 against $92.75 raw: a $106 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($181) 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.
