Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Jimmy Butler [Bonus Shots Gold] #199 sells for $40.00 against $10.06 raw: a $29.94 spread, 4.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($35.99) 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.
