Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wayne Rooney [Gold Prizm] #17 sells for $99.00 against $20.00 raw: a $79.00 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($90.00) 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.
