Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 マッギョ sells for $82.34 against $12.33 raw: a $70.01 spread, 6.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($42.08) 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.
