Price history
Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 8 Tropical Beach sells for $2,651 against $70.00 raw: a $2,581 spread, 38× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,559) 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.
