Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Captain America [Purple Sapphire] #92 sells for $1,979 against $305 raw: a $1,674 spread, 6.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,799) 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.
