Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Lonzo Ball [Patch Autograph] #102 sells for $4,560 against $470 raw: a $4,090 spread, 9.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,800) 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.
