Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Hakeem Olajuwon [Refractor] #76 sells for $3,623 against $17.00 raw: a $3,606 spread, 213× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($280) 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.
