Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 The Magic Never Ends [Silver] sells for $204 against $12.07 raw: a $192 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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.
