Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Clint Dempsey [Silver Prizm] #213 sells for $39.00 against $5.26 raw: a $33.74 spread, 7.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.00) 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.
