Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 David Robinson [Legacy Collection Row 0] #6 sells for $1,230 against $636 raw: a $594 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($753) 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.
