Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Shohei Ohtani [Vintage Stock] #600 sells for $373 against $75.01 raw: a $298 spread, 5.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($339) 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.

Raw (NM): $75.01
