Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Folarin Balogun [White Sparkle Prizm] #208 sells for $433 against $367 raw: a $65.51 spread, 1.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($394) 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.
