Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kobe Bryant [Teal Explosion] #296 sells for $224 against $41.25 raw: a $183 spread, 5.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($110) 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.
