Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jynx δ sells for $51.00 against $3.67 raw: a $47.33 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.04) 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.
