Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Sergej Milinkovic Savic #S-SMS sells for $74.00 against $7.51 raw: a $66.49 spread, 9.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($67.00) 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.
