Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Kevin Garnett [w/ Coating] #115 sells for $650 against $44.50 raw: a $606 spread, 15× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($100) 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.
