Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Lamar Jackson [Holo Silver] #165 sells for $17,820 against $9,351 raw: a $8,469 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($16,200) 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.
