Is Brett Favre [Row 1] #1 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Brett Favre [Row 1] #1 sells for $660 against $146 raw: a $514 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($600) 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): $146
Grade 9.5: $660
PSA 9: $600
