Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Vibrava sells for $909 against $0.74 raw: a $908 spread, 1228× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.22) 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.
