Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kevin Garnett #HH10 sells for $143 against $6.32 raw: a $137 spread, 23× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($130) 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.
