Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Shohei Ohtani [Rainbow Foil] #547 sells for $3,025 against $1,323 raw: a $1,702 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,750) 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.
