Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tom Brady #1 sells for $218 against $130 raw: a $87.62 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($193) 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.
