Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Bond Between Teacher and Student [20th Secret Rare] 20TH-JPC12 sells for $213 against $27.41 raw: a $186 spread, 7.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($136) 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.
