Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Lane Hutson [Acetate] #229 sells for $5,179 against $2,952 raw: a $2,227 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,142) 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.
