Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jerry Rice. #11 sells for $45.00 against $1.30 raw: a $43.70 spread, 35× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($41.00) 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.
