Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Bukayo Saka [White Sparkle] #84 sells for $209 against $128 raw: a $81.50 spread, 1.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($190) 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.
