Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Buffalo Bills [Capturing the Enemy] #6 sells for $44.00 against $1.23 raw: a $42.77 spread, 36× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($39.60) 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.
