Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Diego Maradona [Gold] #24 sells for $35,558 against $4,900 raw: a $30,658 spread, 7.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($32,326) 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.
