Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Fernando Tatis Jr. [Blue Refractor] #CRA-FTJ sells for $210 against $113 raw: a $97.37 spread, 1.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($191) 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.
