Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 7 Romain Grosjean #F1A-RG sells for $240 against $1.00 raw: a $239 spread, 240× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($108) 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.
