Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Flaaffy sells for $60.66 against $6.29 raw: a $54.37 spread, 9.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.90) 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.
