Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Nebula [Silver Flasher] #17 sells for $114 against $2.25 raw: a $111 spread, 51× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($27.99) 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.
