Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Crocodile sells for $47.80 against $1.54 raw: a $46.26 spread, 31× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.99) 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.
