Is James Harden [Hyper Prizm] #3 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 James Harden [Hyper Prizm] #3 sells for $31.00 against $1.25 raw: a $29.75 spread, 25× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($28.00) 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.
