Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Black Widow [Black Sapphire] #44 sells for $31,320 against $4.99 raw: a $31,315 spread, 6277× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($26,100) 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.
