Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Loki [Orange Refractor] #MI-9 sells for $204 against $64.69 raw: a $139 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($186) 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.
