Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Lamar Jackson [Gold] #144 sells for $376 against $73.00 raw: a $303 spread, 5.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($134) 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.
