Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Scottie Pippen [Precious Metal] #229 sells for $1,664 against $7.25 raw: a $1,657 spread, 230× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,387) 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.
