Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Archangel #110 sells for $83.00 against $1.59 raw: a $81.41 spread, 52× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($30.45) 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.
