Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Rabid Horseman KC01-EN036 sells for $141 against $19.99 raw: a $121 spread, 7.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.35) 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.
