Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Luka Doncic [Light Blue Prizm] #25 sells for $995 against $350 raw: a $645 spread, 2.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($425) 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.
