Is it worth grading?
Grading rarely pays for this card
PSA 10 copies of Shohei Ohtani [Purple Refractor] #RA-SO sell for $13,200, only $0.00 above the $21,625 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($11,000) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.
