Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Macklin Celebrini [Seismic Gold] #263 sells for $5,670 against $2,500 raw: a $3,170 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,771) 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.
