Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Roki Sasaki [Gold Orange] #RA-RS sells for $3,504 against $823 raw: a $2,682 spread, 4.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($1,262) 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.
