Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Dustin Poirier [Orange Refractor] #MEA-DPO sells for $118 against $78.00 raw: a $40.00 spread, 1.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($108) 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.
