Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 David Silva [Blue Prizm] #175 sells for $125 against $40.82 raw: a $84.18 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($114) 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.
