Price history
Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Andy Pafko [Black Back] #1 sells for $241,560 against $81.00 raw: a $241,479 spread, 2982× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($201,300) 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.
