Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Amar'e Stoudemire #AM-ASM sells for $58.42 against $17.50 raw: a $40.92 spread, 3.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($47.39) 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.
