Is Jasmine #3 worth grading?
Entertainment · 1993 SkyBox Aladdin · full price guide →
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jasmine #3 sells for $51.00 against $2.15 raw: a $48.85 spread, 24× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.38) 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.
