Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Earvin Johnson [3D] #100 sells for $578 against $186 raw: a $392 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($525) 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.
