Is Sean Taylor [Gold Shimmer] #105 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Sean Taylor [Gold Shimmer] #105 sells for $2,035 against $1,000 raw: a $1,035 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,850) 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.

Raw (NM): $1,000
