Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jasmine's Gaze sells for $40.02 against $0.11 raw: a $39.91 spread, 364× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.60) 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.
