Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Son Goku FB04-129 sells for $281 against $11.78 raw: a $269 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($234) 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.
