Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 M-X-Saber Invoker [Quarter Century Secret Rare] RA04-EN169 sells for $58.00 against $9.75 raw: a $48.25 spread, 5.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.61) 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.
