Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Ousmane Dembele [Purple] #46 sells for $353 against $50.00 raw: a $303 spread, 7.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($321) 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.

Raw (NM): $50.00
