Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Monkey.D.Garp sells for $46.00 against $0.36 raw: a $45.64 spread, 128× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($109) 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.
