Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Nikola Jokic #128 sells for $639 against $175 raw: a $464 spread, 3.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($326) 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.
