Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Ja Morant [Green Ice Prizm] #249 sells for $854 against $198 raw: a $656 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($594) 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.
