Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pocahontas [Black Refractor] #30 sells for $279 against $75.68 raw: a $203 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($232) 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.
