Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Payton Tolle [Lightboard Refractor] #177 sells for $635 against $125 raw: a $510 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($215) 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.
