Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 I:P Masquerena LPST-JP023 sells for $211 against $28.15 raw: a $183 spread, 7.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($138) 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.
