Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Double Gust sells for $210 against $2.98 raw: a $207 spread, 70× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.17) 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.
