Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 C.J. McCollum [Light Blue] #24 sells for $381 against $54.77 raw: a $326 spread, 7.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($347) 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.
