Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Dennis Rodman #7 sells for $66.00 against $13.44 raw: a $52.56 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($60.28) 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.
