Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Oranguru V sells for $55.87 against $0.80 raw: a $55.07 spread, 70× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.65) 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.
