Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Patrick Mahomes II [Aqueous Test] #327 sells for $1,078 against $300 raw: a $778 spread, 3.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($980) 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.
