Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tony Tony.Chopper sells for $92.07 against $0.35 raw: a $91.72 spread, 263× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.00) 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.
