Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tom Brady [Refractor] #OG7 sells for $7,260 against $19.95 raw: a $7,240 spread, 364× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($6,600) 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.
