Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 LaDainian Tomlinson [Autograph] #150 sells for $7,500 against $224 raw: a $7,275 spread, 33× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,058) 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.
