Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Lake Country [Orange Refractor] #AN-12 sells for $77.00 against $37.00 raw: a $40.00 spread, 2.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.36) 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.
