Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 エンテイ sells for $145 against $7.59 raw: a $137 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($87.63) 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.
