Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 LaVar Arrington [Gold Medallion] #240G sells for $386 against $119 raw: a $267 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($351) 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.
