Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Stephen Curry [Pluto] #PPP-3 sells for $12,078 against $9,450 raw: a $2,628 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($10,980) 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.
