Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Obelisk the Tormentor QCCP-JP199 sells for $111 against $17.75 raw: a $93.70 spread, 6.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($88.07) 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.
