Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tribute to The Doomed sells for $77.00 against $12.99 raw: a $64.01 spread, 5.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($64.56) 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.
