Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Baymax sells for $674 against $117 raw: a $557 spread, 5.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($227) 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.
