Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Wyatt Johnston [Speckled Rainbow Foil] #459 sells for $570 against $173 raw: a $397 spread, 3.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($425) 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.
