Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cristiano Ronaldo [Yellow & Red Pulsar Prizm] #161 sells for $420 against $250 raw: a $170 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($338) 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.
