Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Matas Buzelis #YE-BUZ sells for $90.38 against $31.06 raw: a $59.32 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($56.50) 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.
