Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kobe Bryant [Orange Prizm] #KBR sells for $2,860 against $1,903 raw: a $957 spread, 1.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,600) 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.
