Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Cristiano Ronaldo / Lionel Messi [Prizm] #19 sells for $2,313 against $825 raw: a $1,488 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,103) 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.
