Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Juraj Slafkovsky #451 sells for $350 against $54.34 raw: a $295 spread, 6.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($106) 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.
