Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 A.J. Brown / Jalen Hurts / Saquon Barkley [Gold] #15 sells for $481 against $204 raw: a $278 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($438) 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.
