Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Belle sells for $62.52 against $4.51 raw: a $58.01 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($246) 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.
