Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Sean Taylor [Silver] #363 sells for $149 against $19.13 raw: a $130 spread, 7.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($125) 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.
