Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Shohei Ohtani #TP-1 sells for $88.50 against $1.68 raw: a $86.82 spread, 53× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($34.00) 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.
