Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jason Kidd [Green Ice] #70 sells for $99.00 against $42.00 raw: a $57.00 spread, 2.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($89.99) 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.
