Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Boa Hancock sells for $41.61 against $0.62 raw: a $40.99 spread, 67× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.20) 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.
