Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Unit Energy FightingDarknessFairy sells for $46.63 against $1.19 raw: a $45.44 spread, 39× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.52) 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.
