Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Gordian Slicer ALIN-EN066 sells for $132 against $17.36 raw: a $115 spread, 7.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($82.60) 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.
