Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A TAG 10 Flaaffy sells for $495 against $0.94 raw: a $494 spread, 527× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($105) 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.

|---|---|---|
| 25% | $203 | +$152 |
| 50% | $300 | +$249 |

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