Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Yanma sells for $134 against $13.58 raw: a $120 spread, 9.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($57.41) 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.
