Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Cryptocurrency [Black Mini] #83 sells for $11,550 against $1,900 raw: a $9,650 spread, 6.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($10,500) 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.
