Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Blissey sells for $4,203 against $146 raw: a $4,057 spread, 29× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($449) 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.
