Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Lionel Messi [Artist's Proof] #22 sells for $175 against $4.93 raw: a $170 spread, 35× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.36) 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.
