Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Porunga, Giant Force DB3-143 sells for $29.00 against $1.10 raw: a $27.90 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($26.12) 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.
