Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Great Shogun Shien [Ultimate Rare] STON-EN013 sells for $109 against $67.25 raw: a $41.75 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.45) 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.
