Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Venom #6 sells for $60.00 against $9.97 raw: a $50.03 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($54.55) 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.
