Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Ryane Clowe [Autograph] #184 sells for $60.00 against $17.79 raw: a $42.21 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.03) 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.
