Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jerry Rice [First Day Issue] #232 sells for $81.00 against $41.01 raw: a $39.99 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($74.99) 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.
