Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Hiro Hamada sells for $1,025 against $1.64 raw: a $1,023 spread, 625× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($95.44) 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.
