Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Josh Allen [Prizm] #205 sells for $10,001 against $500 raw: a $9,501 spread, 20× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,233) 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.
