Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Hitotsu-Me Giant LOB-002 sells for $149 against $0.57 raw: a $148 spread, 261× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.00) 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.
