Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Luis Aparicio [All Star] #483 sells for $1,011 against $4.95 raw: a $1,006 spread, 204× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($449) 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.
