Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Yunus Musah #8 sells for $340 against $155 raw: a $185 spread, 2.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($309) 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.
