Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Nikola Jokic #1 sells for $402 against $300 raw: a $102 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($365) 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.
