Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kobe Bryant #113 sells for $82.00 against $48.01 raw: a $33.99 spread, 1.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($74.46) 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.
