Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Tom Brady [Refractor] #TC6 sells for $1,375 against $166 raw: a $1,209 spread, 8.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($335) 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.
