Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 The Bistro Butcher [1st Edition] MRD-108 sells for $46.07 against $1.15 raw: a $44.92 spread, 40× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.00) 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.
