Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Electrike sells for $61.32 against $0.44 raw: a $60.88 spread, 139× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.33) 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.
