Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Black Chaos [Starlight Rare] CORI-EN001 sells for $1,182 against $169 raw: a $1,013 spread, 7.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($816) 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.
