Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kylian Mbappe [Purple] #1 sells for $78.00 against $14.93 raw: a $63.07 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($70.69) 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.
