Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sabrina's Kadabra sells for $418 against $16.17 raw: a $402 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($97.70) 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.
