Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Torry Holt [Refractor] #SC9 sells for $44.00 against $8.35 raw: a $35.65 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.25) 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.
