Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Predrag Stojakovic [Refractor] #201 sells for $138 against $48.53 raw: a $89.47 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($126) 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.
