Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Guillermo Ochoa [Yellow & Red Pulsar Prizm] #143 sells for $127 against $14.37 raw: a $113 spread, 8.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($115) 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.
