Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Monkey.D.Luffy sells for $75.59 against $1.31 raw: a $74.28 spread, 58× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.99) 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.
