Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 AJ Dybantsa #NIL-A1 sells for $4,259 against $942 raw: a $3,316 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,477) 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.
