Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Chandler Stephenson [Autograph] #240 sells for $42.04 against $7.45 raw: a $34.59 spread, 5.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($33.00) 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.
