Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 ポリゴン sells for $49.99 against $10.00 raw: a $39.99 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($43.26) 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.
