Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Swallow's Nest [1st Edition] RGBT-EN087 sells for $190 against $6.40 raw: a $184 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.86) 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.
