Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Donovan Mitchell [Purple Prizm] #117 sells for $1,625 against $259 raw: a $1,366 spread, 6.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,435) 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.
