Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Gabite sells for $134 against $0.60 raw: a $134 spread, 224× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($68.64) 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.

Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.

Tolerances are each company's published centering standard for its top grade; surface, corners and edges must also be clean. Centering is the one you can measure yourself before you pay.
