Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Summon Sorceress VJMP-JP140 sells for $268 against $10.99 raw: a $257 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($54.62) 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.
