Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Manny Ramirez [Refractor] #20 sells for $154 against $2.45 raw: a $152 spread, 63× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($140) 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.
