Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Paras sells for $41.13 against $2.85 raw: a $38.28 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.33) 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.
