Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Michael Penix Jr. / Michael Vick #14 sells for $588 against $408 raw: a $179 spread, 1.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($521) 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.
