Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Medius the Innocent DUAD-JP008 sells for $199 against $27.66 raw: a $172 spread, 7.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($140) 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.
