Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Son Goku, Adventure BT27-139 sells for $831 against $350 raw: a $481 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($417) 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.
