Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Time-Space Distortion sells for $3,979 against $64.70 raw: a $3,914 spread, 61× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($354) 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.
