Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 James Harden [Green Prizm] #2 sells for $173 against $128 raw: a $45.50 spread, 1.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($158) 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.
