Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 ダイノーズ sells for $74.76 against $1.83 raw: a $72.93 spread, 41× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($120) 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.
