Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A BGS 9 Gabite sells for $241 against $2.45 raw: a $238 spread, 98× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($201) 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.
