Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Cristiano Ronaldo #7 sells for $6,038 against $49.00 raw: a $5,989 spread, 123× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($139) 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.
