Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Zion Williamson [Blue Cracked Ice Prizm] #258 sells for $91.00 against $6.48 raw: a $84.52 spread, 14× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($76.00) 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.
