Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Wingull sells for $62.00 against $0.79 raw: a $61.21 spread, 78× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($53.62) 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.
