Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Drew Brees #214 sells for $88.00 against $20.14 raw: a $67.86 spread, 4.4× 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.
