Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Monkey.D.Luffy sells for $40.14 against $1.04 raw: a $39.10 spread, 39× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.32) 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.
