Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Duskull sells for $172 against $0.73 raw: a $171 spread, 235× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($172) 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.
