Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Esmerlyn Valdez [Black Geometric] #BDC-110 sells for $356 against $75.50 raw: a $280 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($126) 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.
