Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Carnage [Gold Sapphire] #77 sells for $1,224 against $140 raw: a $1,084 spread, 8.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($260) 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.
