Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 The Cheerful Coffin [Ultra Parallel Rare] sells for $1,040 against $15.89 raw: a $1,024 spread, 65× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($78.97) 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.
