Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Hiro Hamada sells for $94.92 against $1.50 raw: a $93.42 spread, 63× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($97.73) 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.
