Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gemini Elf [1st Edition] LON-000 sells for $1,536 against $79.10 raw: a $1,457 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($177) 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.
