Is it worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Kobe Bryant [Black Refractor] #21 sells for $4,637 against $754 raw: a $3,883 spread, 6.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,864) 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.
