Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Baxcalibur sells for $39.83 against $0.33 raw: a $39.50 spread, 121× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($25.67) 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.
