Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Orange Junction Energy Blast [Foil] 139 sells for $110 against $4.99 raw: a $105 spread, 22× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.99) 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.
