Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Feebas sells for $90.00 against $1.06 raw: a $88.94 spread, 85× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($95.00) 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.

At the standard fee this submission does not break even at any realistic gem rate unless the miss lands above the 9 price.
