Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Stephen Curry [Gold] #12 sells for $1,430 against $700 raw: a $730 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,300) 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.
