Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Maxx C [Platinum Secret Rare] RA04-EN150 sells for $50.00 against $8.37 raw: a $41.63 spread, 6.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.45) 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.
