Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Isack Hadjar [Gold Refractor] #41 sells for $271 against $87.55 raw: a $183 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($246) 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.
