Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Wilt Chamberlain [White Sparkle Prizm] #260 sells for $140 against $41.43 raw: a $98.57 spread, 3.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($127) 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.
