Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sabrina's Abra sells for $256 against $6.57 raw: a $249 spread, 39× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($38.18) 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.
