Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Muk sells for $514 against $14.48 raw: a $500 spread, 36× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.78) 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.

|---|---|---|
| 25% | $182 | +$117 |
| 50% | $292 | +$228 |

Even a miss (a 9) beats selling raw after the standard fee — the gem rate only decides how much you win by.
