Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Drake Maye / Tom Brady [Gold] #PP-7 sells for $1,110 against $350 raw: a $760 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,009) 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.
