Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Codename E.L.F. [Crystal Shard] #165 sells for $600 against $52.12 raw: a $548 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($160) 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.
