Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Shrink KC01-EN048 sells for $66.12 against $6.49 raw: a $59.63 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32.26) 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.
