Is Grant Hill [Row 1] #19 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Grant Hill [Row 1] #19 sells for $747 against $249 raw: a $498 spread, 3.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($679) 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.
