Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Scottie Pippen [Members Only] #5 sells for $692 against $21.00 raw: a $671 spread, 33× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($122) 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.
