Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Macklin Celebrini #263 sells for $282 against $32.18 raw: a $249 spread, 8.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($93.50) 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.
