Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Xavi Hernandez #C-XH1 sells for $64.00 against $26.01 raw: a $37.99 spread, 2.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.60) 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.
