Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Joe Montana [Black] #28 sells for $943 against $208 raw: a $735 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($335) 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.
