Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Winged Kuriboh [Ultimate Rare 1st Edition] TLM-EN005 sells for $1,279 against $161 raw: a $1,119 spread, 8.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($351) 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.
