Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Ivan Rakitic [Gold] #43 sells for $414 against $59.18 raw: a $355 spread, 7.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($376) 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.
