Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Drake Maye #RG-DME sells for $109 against $15.02 raw: a $94.35 spread, 7.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($44.99) 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.
