Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia [Blue] #118 sells for $165 against $20.05 raw: a $145 spread, 8.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($150) 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.
