Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Deandre Ayton #200 sells for $268 against $104 raw: a $164 spread, 2.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($244) 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.
