Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Emeka Egbuka #TBK-9 sells for $138 against $26.08 raw: a $111 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($100) 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.
