Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Mfiondu Kabengele [Patch Autograph] #109 sells for $128 against $10.55 raw: a $117 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($123) 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.
