Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Drew Brees #30 sells for $290 against $163 raw: a $128 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($260) 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.
