Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Luka Doncic [Silver Prizm] #281 sells for $486 against $31.74 raw: a $454 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($405) 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.
