Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Stephen Curry [Blue & Gold] #177 sells for $250 against $54.64 raw: a $195 spread, 4.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($111) 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.
