Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Islam Makhachev [First Day Issue] #1 sells for $463 against $99.35 raw: a $364 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($163) 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.
