Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Steve Nash / Amar'e Stoudemire [Tie-Dye Prizm] #SP-PHX sells for $253 against $200 raw: a $53.01 spread, 1.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($230) 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.
