Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Giannis Antetokounmpo #19 sells for $336 against $1.87 raw: a $334 spread, 180× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($306) 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.
