Is Lautaro Martinez [Gold] #5 worth grading?

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Lautaro Martinez [Gold] #5 sells for $4,697 against $610 raw: a $4,087 spread, 7.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($4,270) 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.

Raw (NM): $610
