Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 CM Punk [Orange Refractor] #MEA-CMP sells for $265 against $205 raw: a $60.00 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($241) 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.
