Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Triple Tactics Thrust PHHY-EN069 sells for $65.00 against $5.94 raw: a $59.06 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.19) 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.
