Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Matthew Stafford [Gold] #6 sells for $4,444 against $3,927 raw: a $517 spread, 1.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,040) 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.
