Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cristiano Ronaldo #286 sells for $50.53 against $12.00 raw: a $38.53 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($40.00) 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.
