Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Meditite sells for $81.01 against $0.69 raw: a $80.32 spread, 117× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($150) 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.
