Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Elsa [Gold Refractor] #153 sells for $38,064 against $1,383 raw: a $36,681 spread, 28× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31,720) 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.
