Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cloyster sells for $88.40 against $15.39 raw: a $73.01 spread, 5.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($54.32) 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.
