Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 ストライク sells for $195 against $5.99 raw: a $189 spread, 32× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.00) 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.
