Is DE'Aaron Fox [Red] #51 worth grading?

Basketball · Basketball Cards 2017 Panini Spectra · full price guide →

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 DE'Aaron Fox [Red] #51 sells for $53.00 against $10.50 raw: a $42.50 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($48.00) 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.

Raw (NM): $10.50
Grade 9.5: $53.00
