Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Michael Jordan [Die Cut] #PC5 sells for $7,000 against $475 raw: a $6,525 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,361) 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.
