Is Marshall Faulk [Row 0] #24 worth grading?

Football · Football Cards 1998 Flair Showcase · full price guide →

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Marshall Faulk [Row 0] #24 sells for $82.00 against $42.28 raw: a $39.72 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($74.55) 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.
