Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Mysterio [Gold Foil] #28 sells for $38.00 against $5.68 raw: a $32.32 spread, 6.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.99) 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.
