Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 LeBron James [Legacy] #130 sells for $10,120 against $1,401 raw: a $8,720 spread, 7.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($9,200) 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.
