Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Ariel [Blue Refractor] #58 sells for $173 against $15.50 raw: a $157 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($65.50) 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.
