Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Percy Harvin [Autograph] #137 sells for $55.22 against $17.94 raw: a $37.28 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($55.00) 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.
