Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 8 Cinccino sells for $69.99 against $12.84 raw: a $57.15 spread, 5.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.00) 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.
