Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Arturs Silovs [Speckled Rainbow] #485 sells for $95.00 against $53.97 raw: a $41.03 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($86.66) 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.
