Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 AZ's Tranquility sells for $122 against $28.67 raw: a $93.74 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($96.69) 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.
