Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Seel δ sells for $655 against $0.76 raw: a $654 spread, 861× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.64) 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.
