Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Pittsburgh Steelers [Insignia] #156 sells for $247 against $4.08 raw: a $243 spread, 61× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($225) 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.
