Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 XX-Saber Hyunlei ABPF-EN044 sells for $147 against $24.60 raw: a $122 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($122) 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.
