Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 9 Bunnelby sells for $44.40 against $1.09 raw: a $43.31 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.40) 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.
