Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Achraf Hakimi #49 sells for $312 against $34.25 raw: a $278 spread, 9.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($283) 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.
