Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Lamar Jackson #3 sells for $5,802 against $2,924 raw: a $2,878 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,100) 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.
