Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Roman Anthony [Aqua] #BST-12 sells for $226 against $27.00 raw: a $199 spread, 8.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($77.79) 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.
