Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Marshall Faulk #FG-MF sells for $66.00 against $21.19 raw: a $44.81 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.93) 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.
