Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cosmic Cyclone [Collector's Rare 1st Edition] TAMA-EN053 sells for $40.99 against $4.98 raw: a $36.01 spread, 8.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($38.00) 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.
