Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kevin Durant #131 sells for $747 against $101 raw: a $645 spread, 7.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($182) 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.
