Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Snubbull sells for $48.54 against $11.99 raw: a $36.55 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($200) 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.
