Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Arch Manning [Red] #42 sells for $356 against $78.07 raw: a $278 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($128) 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.
