Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Arianny Celeste #FA-AC sells for $134 against $82.29 raw: a $51.71 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($122) 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.
