Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman [Green] #CC-12 sells for $138 against $38.99 raw: a $99.01 spread, 3.5× 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.
