Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Froslass sells for $497 against $5.31 raw: a $491 spread, 94× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.33) 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.
