Is Bill Russell [Camo] #82 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Bill Russell [Camo] #82 sells for $110 against $3.46 raw: a $107 spread, 32× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($100) 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): $3.46
Grade 9.5: $110
PSA 9: $100
