Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Buster Blader [1st Edition] PSV-E050 sells for $3,850 against $79.44 raw: a $3,770 spread, 48× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($268) 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.
