Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Caleb Williams [Leather Gold] #52 sells for $947 against $202 raw: a $744 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($329) 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.
