Is it worth grading?
Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Shohei Ohtani [Batting Purple Refractor] #1 sells for $11,381 against $1,100 raw: a $10,281 spread, 10× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($9,484) 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.
