Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Paige Bueckers [Snakeskin] #5 sells for $5,424 against $1,278 raw: a $4,147 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,954) 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.
