Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Anfernee Hardaway [Gold] #AS1 sells for $227 against $19.98 raw: a $207 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($207) 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.
