Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 勝利のメダル sells for $1,335 against $219 raw: a $1,116 spread, 6.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($270) 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.
