Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Roberto Baggio [Blue & Red Wave Prizm] #44 sells for $64.00 against $13.77 raw: a $50.23 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.00) 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.
