Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A TAG 10 ゲッコウガ sells for $85.49 against $9.29 raw: a $76.20 spread, 9.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($78.99) 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.
