Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 9 Sigilyph sells for $36.05 against $0.26 raw: a $35.79 spread, 139× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($36.05) 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.
