Is Aaron Rodgers [Gold] #K10 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Aaron Rodgers [Gold] #K10 sells for $5,500 against $1,750 raw: a $3,750 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($5,000) 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.

Raw (NM): $1,750
Grade 9.5: $5,500
PSA 9: $5,000
