Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Tacko Fall [Autograph Fast Break] #161 sells for $512 against $19.99 raw: a $492 spread, 26× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($465) 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.
