Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Paolo Banchero [Holo] #1 sells for $39.00 against $2.72 raw: a $36.28 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.50) 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.
