Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Alan Faneca [Holofoil] #362 sells for $1,210 against $400 raw: a $810 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,100) 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.
