Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 John Elway / Bo Nix [Equinox] #C-6 sells for $154 against $71.50 raw: a $82.50 spread, 2.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($140) 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.
