Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Kevin Garnett [Electric Court Gold] #273 sells for $561 against $170 raw: a $391 spread, 3.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($510) 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.
