Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 The End of Anubis [1st Edition] AST-000 sells for $292 against $15.99 raw: a $276 spread, 18× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($66.00) 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.
