Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Terry Bradshaw #461 sells for $3,416 against $6.74 raw: a $3,409 spread, 507× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($178) 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.
