Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Michael Jordan [Slam Dunk] sells for $203 against $20.27 raw: a $182 spread, 10.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($53.00) 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.
