Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Novak Djokovic / Carlos Alcaraz #CDA-AD sells for $13,193 against $5,000 raw: a $8,193 spread, 2.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($11,993) 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.
