Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A BGS 10 SS2 Son Gohan, Sadness and Rage [Serial] BT27-059 sells for $10,609 against $3,154 raw: a $7,455 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,500) 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.
