Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Elemental HERO Neos [1st Edition] POTD-EN001 sells for $79.51 against $0.33 raw: a $79.18 spread, 241× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.00) 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.
