Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Steve Nash #10 sells for $408 against $1.57 raw: a $406 spread, 260× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($371) 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.
