Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Derrick Rose [Autograph] #151 sells for $460 against $158 raw: a $302 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($273) 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.
