Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Marcelo Mayer #PPS-10 sells for $65.88 against $17.74 raw: a $48.14 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($43.00) 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.
