Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Michael Jordan [Player's Club Platinum] #45 sells for $4,500 against $272 raw: a $4,228 spread, 17× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($914) 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.
