Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Full Heal Energy sells for $521 against $1.96 raw: a $519 spread, 266× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.01) 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.
