Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Jerry West [Silver Prizm] #254 sells for $77.00 against $17.79 raw: a $59.21 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($69.99) 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.
