Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ronaldinho #LR-R3 sells for $281 against $220 raw: a $61.00 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($255) 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.
