Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Jayden Daniels [First Down] #302 sells for $336 against $238 raw: a $97.75 spread, 1.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($305) 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.
