Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 シャワーズ sells for $65.00 against $10.66 raw: a $54.34 spread, 6.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($108) 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.
