Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 マンムー sells for $42.79 against $7.25 raw: a $35.54 spread, 5.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.11) 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.
