Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Lairon sells for $60.79 against $2.13 raw: a $58.66 spread, 29× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.08) 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.
