Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Omanyte sells for $118 against $2.19 raw: a $116 spread, 54× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.14) 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.
