Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 David Robinson #20 sells for $586 against $19.24 raw: a $567 spread, 30× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($139) 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.
