Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Alphonso Davies [Blue] #BA-AD sells for $66.00 against $21.32 raw: a $44.68 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($60.00) 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.
