Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Slakoth sells for $475 against $1.42 raw: a $474 spread, 335× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.36) 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.
