Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Yamato sells for $63.32 against $7.02 raw: a $56.30 spread, 9.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,567) 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.
