Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Miles Morales #23 sells for $87.64 against $4.97 raw: a $82.67 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($67.00) 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.
