Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Patrick Mahomes II [Racer] #116 sells for $89.00 against $9.65 raw: a $79.35 spread, 9.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.62) 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.
