Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Vince Young [Autograph] #223 sells for $97.00 against $32.03 raw: a $64.97 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($88.00) 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.
