Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mirabel Madrigal [Black Wave Refractor] #182 sells for $1,110 against $229 raw: a $881 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($925) 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.
