Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Walrein ex sells for $802 against $54.60 raw: a $748 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($281) 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.
