Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Patrick Mahomes II #1 sells for $14,030 against $6,900 raw: a $7,130 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($6,990) 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.
