Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Slither Wing sells for $43.76 against $0.14 raw: a $43.62 spread, 313× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.85) 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.
