Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Zeman the Ape King DPC5-EN002 sells for $50.80 against $1.05 raw: a $49.75 spread, 48× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.62) 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.
