Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jorge Ruiz [Aqua] #BSPA-JR sells for $97.00 against $24.44 raw: a $72.56 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($87.88) 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.
