Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dominique Malonga [Green Pulsar] #116 sells for $835 against $185 raw: a $650 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($295) 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.
