Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Psi-Lord #195 sells for $89.99 against $1.50 raw: a $88.49 spread, 60× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.43) 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.
