Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jiren, Climactic Battle BT27-005 sells for $80.00 against $0.60 raw: a $79.40 spread, 133× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($73.00) 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.
