Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Pinocchio #OU-1 sells for $288 against $89.00 raw: a $199 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($123) 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.
