Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander [Blue Prizm] #184 sells for $8,300 against $1,824 raw: a $6,476 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,216) 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.
