Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Scottie Pippen [1st Day Issue] #300 sells for $502 against $13.17 raw: a $489 spread, 38× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($83.17) 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.
