Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Donovan Mitchell [Silver] #263 sells for $110 against $21.23 raw: a $88.77 spread, 5.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($79.99) 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.
