Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Karma Cut [Ultimate Rare] SOI-EN053 sells for $1,039 against $28.17 raw: a $1,011 spread, 37× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($141) 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.
