Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A CGC 10 Professor Elm sells for $158 against $30.73 raw: a $128 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($93.14) 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.
