Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kon Knueppel [Twilight] #64 sells for $901 against $236 raw: a $665 spread, 3.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($320) 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.
