Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 AJ Dybantsa #BE-4 sells for $428 against $87.00 raw: a $341 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($147) 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.
