Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Gianluigi Buffon [Neon Yellow Prizm] #47 sells for $57.00 against $14.95 raw: a $42.05 spread, 3.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($51.50) 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.
