Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Jayson Tatum [Die Cut Tie Dye Prizm] #166 sells for $998 against $498 raw: a $500 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($685) 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.
