Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Maleficent sells for $106 against $10.84 raw: a $95.28 spread, 9.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.99) 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.
