Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Zion Williamson [Red Pulsar Prizm] #258 sells for $320 against $233 raw: a $87.50 spread, 1.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($291) 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.
