Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Latrell Sprewell [Orange Border Refractor Test Issue] #M7 sells for $41.00 against $4.36 raw: a $36.64 spread, 9.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($37.14) 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.
