Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Soul Drain LART-EN011 sells for $73.06 against $6.83 raw: a $66.23 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.84) 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.
