Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dental FLOSSIE #203b sells for $43.65 against $1.34 raw: a $42.31 spread, 33× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($26.43) 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.
