Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Comfey sells for $92.68 against $1.41 raw: a $91.27 spread, 66× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.44) 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.
