Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Christian McCaffrey [Red] #RA-CM sells for $432 against $279 raw: a $154 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($393) 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.
