Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tom Brady [Aspirations Die Cut] #59 sells for $4,400 against $74.55 raw: a $4,325 spread, 59× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,000) 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.
