Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Stephen Curry #H-10 sells for $6,178 against $1,291 raw: a $4,886 spread, 4.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,084) 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.
