Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Venom [Orange Sapphire] #62 sells for $294 against $232 raw: a $61.75 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($267) 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.
