Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Grant Hill [Gold Signature] #219 sells for $110 against $24.50 raw: a $85.50 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($100) 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.
