Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Ichiro Suzuki [Xfractor] #351 sells for $13,102 against $2,777 raw: a $10,325 spread, 4.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($3,248) 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.
