Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jean Grey [Seismic Gold Variant] #46-V sells for $303 against $225 raw: a $78.00 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($275) 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.
