Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Alexis Sanchez [White Sparkle] #46 sells for $57.00 against $19.54 raw: a $37.46 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($52.00) 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.

Raw (NM): $19.54
