Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Allen Iverson [Rave] #150 sells for $1,139 against $317 raw: a $822 spread, 3.6× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,035) 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.
