Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Volcanic Doomfire [Ultimate Rare] FOTB-JP008 sells for $109 against $14.18 raw: a $95.27 spread, 7.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($72.16) 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.
