Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Puka Nacua [Gold] #20 sells for $3,159 against $1,554 raw: a $1,605 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,872) 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.
