Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Future Fusion POTD-EN044 sells for $3,097 against $105 raw: a $2,993 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($275) 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.
