Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Hakeem Olajuwon [Refractor] #T38 sells for $313 against $7.99 raw: a $305 spread, 39× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($47.50) 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.
