Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sugar sells for $32.42 against $0.59 raw: a $31.83 spread, 55× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($77.16) 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.
