Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Mickey Mouse [Refractor] #1 sells for $5,858 against $1,249 raw: a $4,609 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,670) 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.
