Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Anthony Davis [Purple] #506 sells for $176 against $102 raw: a $74.26 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($160) 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.
