Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kawhi Leonard [Autograph] #193 sells for $225 against $150 raw: a $74.79 spread, 1.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($214) 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.
