Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Mariano Rivera [Gold] #600 sells for $40.88 against $4.24 raw: a $36.64 spread, 9.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.66) 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.
