Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Naomi Girma [Neon Blue Flood] #199 sells for $182 against $47.00 raw: a $135 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($165) 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.
