Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Magic Cylinder [1st Edition] LON-E104 sells for $3,542 against $74.91 raw: a $3,467 spread, 47× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($372) 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.
