Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Donovan Mitchell [Purple] #15 sells for $41.00 against $7.99 raw: a $33.01 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.15) 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.
