Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Terrakion sells for $1,066 against $2.43 raw: a $1,064 spread, 439× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.49) 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.
