Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kobe Bryant #EC8 sells for $576 against $187 raw: a $389 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($480) 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.
