Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Manuel Neuer [Yellow & Red Pulsar Prizm] #83 sells for $70.00 against $4.99 raw: a $65.01 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($45.00) 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.
