Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Jalen Smith [Silver Prizm] sells for $67.00 against $6.54 raw: a $60.46 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($61.00) 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.
