Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Fuecoco sells for $29.88 against $0.11 raw: a $29.77 spread, 272× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.00) 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.
