Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 1 Sigilyph sells for $49.99 against $0.33 raw: a $49.66 spread, 151× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.10) 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.
