Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 7 Chad Johnson [Xfractor] #187 sells for $225 against $50.38 raw: a $175 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($150) 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.
