Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A SGC 10 Carnage [Bronze Holofoil] #2 sells for $964 against $66.30 raw: a $897 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($223) 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.

Raw (NM): $66.30
