Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Allen Iverson [Legacy Collection Row 1] #3 sells for $2,901 against $885 raw: a $2,016 spread, 3.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,638) 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.
