Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Matvei Michkov #250 sells for $82.00 against $3.25 raw: a $78.75 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($68.41) 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.
