Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Kurt Warner [HoloSilver] #157 sells for $55.00 against $5.62 raw: a $49.38 spread, 9.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($50.00) 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): $5.62
Grade 9.5: $55.00
