Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Baymax sells for $150 against $65.27 raw: a $84.72 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($97.38) 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.
