Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 The Masked Beast [1st Edition] LON-001 sells for $943 against $38.03 raw: a $904 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($119) 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.
