Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Cristiano Ronaldo #3 sells for $58.00 against $5.71 raw: a $52.29 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.00) 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.
