Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant [Refractor] #EW5 sells for $19,330 against $1,000 raw: a $18,330 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($12,979) 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.
