Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Portgas.D.Ace sells for $2,347 against $3.58 raw: a $2,343 spread, 656× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,582) 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.
