Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Abomasnow sells for $29.99 against $0.28 raw: a $29.71 spread, 107× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.99) 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.
