Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Lamine Yamal #WKA-LY sells for $1,444 against $609 raw: a $835 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,313) 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.
