Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Alexandre Pantoja #MEA-APA sells for $51.61 against $20.00 raw: a $31.61 spread, 2.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.03) 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.
