Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sabrina's Abra sells for $316 against $50.45 raw: a $266 spread, 6.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($107) 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.
