Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Tom Brady #130 sells for $14,728 against $2,663 raw: a $12,065 spread, 5.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($5,750) 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.
