Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sabrina's Psyduck sells for $638 against $24.92 raw: a $613 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.89) 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.
