Is it worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 LeBron James [Refractor] #178 sells for $10,200 against $2,300 raw: a $7,900 spread, 4.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($7,150) 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.
