Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Macklin Celebrini [Orange Ray] #S-8 sells for $674 against $265 raw: a $409 spread, 2.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($612) 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.
