Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Astellar of the White Forest [Prismatic Secret Rare] LPST-JP018 sells for $242 against $32.27 raw: a $210 spread, 7.5× 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.
