Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Malik Nabers [Gold Ice] #6 sells for $374 against $145 raw: a $229 spread, 2.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($340) 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.
