Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tatum Paxley [Orange Flash] #186 sells for $38.00 against $7.76 raw: a $30.24 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.84) 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.
