Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Shohei Ohtani #WST-1 sells for $413 against $78.04 raw: a $335 spread, 5.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($140) 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.
