Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Barboach sells for $66.69 against $0.57 raw: a $66.12 spread, 117× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($91.83) 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.
