Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 グラードン sells for $304 against $25.25 raw: a $279 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($87.27) 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.
