Is it worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Kobe Bryant [Gold Medallion] #1G sells for $2,084 against $423 raw: a $1,662 spread, 4.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,775) 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.
