Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Angel Di Maria [Orange Prizm] #2 sells for $109 against $19.99 raw: a $89.01 spread, 5.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.00) 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.
