Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 ウパー sells for $74.07 against $14.00 raw: a $60.07 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($43.23) 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.
