Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Dallas Cowboys [Blocking Convoy] #13 sells for $32.00 against $0.93 raw: a $31.07 spread, 34× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.83) 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.
