Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Witch of the Black Rose ABPF-EN012 sells for $125 against $17.81 raw: a $107 spread, 7.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($94.43) 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.
