Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tua Tagovailoa [Gold] #K11 sells for $3,360 against $1,875 raw: a $1,485 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,800) 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.
