Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tom Brady [Bowl Ticket] #8 sells for $85.00 against $18.83 raw: a $66.17 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($77.00) 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.
