Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Anfernee Hardaway [1st Day Issue] #308 sells for $333 against $42.19 raw: a $291 spread, 7.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($200) 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.
