Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Marowak δ sells for $377 against $40.76 raw: a $336 spread, 9.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($261) 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.
