Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander [Equinox] #NO-4 sells for $900 against $200 raw: a $700 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($319) 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.
