Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Desire Doue #48 sells for $137 against $3.15 raw: a $134 spread, 43× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($72.50) 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.
