Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tom Brady [Gold Mojo] #3 sells for $20,955 against $5,000 raw: a $15,955 spread, 4.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($19,050) 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.
