Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tom Brady [Purple Stars] #MH-7 sells for $110 against $66.20 raw: a $43.80 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($100) 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.
