Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Luka Doncic [Green Prizm] #16 sells for $46.52 against $2.13 raw: a $44.39 spread, 22× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($29.95) 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.
