Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Eric Cantona #101 sells for $3,221 against $9.74 raw: a $3,211 spread, 331× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,928) 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): $9.74
