Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Emanuel Ginobili [White Refractor] #124 sells for $1,438 against $469 raw: a $970 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($808) 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.
