Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Trap Dustshoot CP05-EN005 sells for $13,959 against $477 raw: a $13,482 spread, 29× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,370) 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.
