Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Reptilianne Hydra [1st Edition] SOVR-EN042 sells for $230 against $8.47 raw: a $221 spread, 27× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.10) 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.
