Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Vinicius Junior [Optic Orange] #177 sells for $1,334 against $260 raw: a $1,074 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($329) 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.
