Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 The Queen sells for $721 against $0.86 raw: a $721 spread, 839× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.95) 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.
