Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 JA Morant [Fast Break Pink] #168 sells for $1,230 against $626 raw: a $604 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,025) 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.
