Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Michael Jordan [Luminous] #T1B sells for $4,775 against $1,050 raw: a $3,725 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,695) 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.
