Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Pat McAfee [Press Proof Gold] #131 sells for $138 against $46.24 raw: a $91.76 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($125) 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.
