Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Diego Maradona #TS-DM sells for $1,362 against $830 raw: a $532 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,238) 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.
