Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Elemental HERO Knospe [Secret Rare] PP02-EN005 sells for $2,474 against $87.14 raw: a $2,387 spread, 28× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($445) 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.
