Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kobe Bryant [Gold] #188 sells for $385 against $20.68 raw: a $364 spread, 19× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($350) 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.
