Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ray Allen [Green Prizm] #37 sells for $358 against $62.00 raw: a $296 spread, 5.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($325) 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.
