Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Glenn Robinson / Ray Allen [Left] #DF5 sells for $34.00 against $3.12 raw: a $30.88 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($31.00) 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.
