Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jaxon Smith-Njigba [Rookie Patch Autograph] #117 sells for $210 against $116 raw: a $93.75 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($191) 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.
