Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 ブラッキー sells for $49.64 against $0.31 raw: a $49.33 spread, 160× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.70) 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.
