Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Jaxson Dart [Black Pandora] #14 sells for $9,950 against $5,125 raw: a $4,825 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($5,702) 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.
