Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jak Crawford [Gold Refractor] #33 sells for $45.00 against $5.50 raw: a $39.50 spread, 8.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.61) 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.
