Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Venom [Silver Flasher] #136 sells for $471 against $11.00 raw: a $460 spread, 43× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.00) 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): $11.00
