Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Psychic Energy sells for $99.92 against $10.40 raw: a $89.52 spread, 9.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.88) 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.
