Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Matthew Stafford [Gold Refractor] #92 sells for $87.00 against $44.54 raw: a $42.46 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($79.25) 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.
