Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Shohei Ohtani #600 sells for $161 against $15.00 raw: a $146 spread, 11× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($49.25) 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.
