Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Matisse Thybulle [Patch Autograph] #116 sells for $1,168 against $790 raw: a $378 spread, 1.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,062) 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.
