Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Time Wizard [1st Edition] MRD-065 sells for $3,994 against $189 raw: a $3,805 spread, 21× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($585) 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.
