Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Thor [Rose Gold Mini Diamonds] #119 sells for $121 against $65.50 raw: a $55.50 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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.
