Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tom Brady [Gold] #KH-1 sells for $17,954 against $9,820 raw: a $8,134 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($16,322) 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.
