Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Terrell Owens [Green] #TO-A sells for $499 against $47.77 raw: a $451 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($80.00) 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.
