Is Neymar Jr [Orange] #1 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Neymar Jr [Orange] #1 sells for $121 against $73.10 raw: a $47.90 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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): $73.10
Grade 9.5: $121
PSA 9: $110
