Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Giannis Antetokounmpo #DT6 sells for $1,925 against $791 raw: a $1,134 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,300) 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.
