Should You Grade LeBron James's Cards Right Now?

A substantial profit margin currently exists for this card due to the difference between raw and graded prices. However, a significant portion of the graded value is attributed to a single PSA 10 sale, introducing some volatility. Potential graders should consider the strong return on investment balanced against this market characteristic.
