Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Issho sells for $38.76 against $0.68 raw: a $38.08 spread, 57× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.97) 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.
