Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Super Bowl X #66 sells for $64.00 against $2.49 raw: a $61.51 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($57.95) 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.
