Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Gunnar Henderson [Red] #CT-12 sells for $196 against $111 raw: a $84.54 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($178) 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.
