Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Nico Paz [Rose Gold Refractor] #71 sells for $183 against $22.09 raw: a $161 spread, 8.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($166) 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.
