Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sage's Stone ROD-EN003 sells for $108 against $10.61 raw: a $96.89 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($47.11) 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.
