Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Dwyane Wade #65 sells for $1,291 against $1.56 raw: a $1,289 spread, 828× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,076) 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.
