Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Russell Westbrook [Blue] #114 sells for $270 against $59.99 raw: a $210 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($245) 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.
