Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Buggy sells for $36.76 against $0.39 raw: a $36.37 spread, 94× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($71.65) 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.
