Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Polymerization LOB-059 sells for $152 against $6.00 raw: a $146 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($88.29) 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.
