Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Number 93: Utopia Kaiser YCSW-EN009 sells for $3,757 against $430 raw: a $3,327 spread, 8.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($522) 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.
