Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kobe Bryant [Blue] #SQ-5 sells for $500 against $49.06 raw: a $451 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($99.00) 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.
