Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Aaron Rodgers [Black Refractor] #56 sells for $215 against $18.06 raw: a $197 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($195) 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.
