Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Aaron Rodgers #18 sells for $305 against $1.99 raw: a $303 spread, 153× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.36) 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.
