Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Azamina Ilia Silvia OP28-EN003 sells for $173 against $16.45 raw: a $156 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($75.20) 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.
