Is Sergio Aguero [Prizm] #3 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Sergio Aguero [Prizm] #3 sells for $44.00 against $11.18 raw: a $32.82 spread, 3.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.88) 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.
