Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Son Gohan : Adolescence SB02-026 sells for $130 against $0.25 raw: a $130 spread, 521× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($79.29) 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.
