Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Archie Manning [Gold] #5 sells for $2,999 against $1,600 raw: a $1,399 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,396) 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.
