Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Eric Dickerson #HOF1 sells for $58.00 against $26.20 raw: a $31.80 spread, 2.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($52.51) 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.
