Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jayson Tatum #NB-JYT sells for $950 against $297 raw: a $653 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($353) 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.
