Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Shohei Ohtani [Pink Firework] #H1 sells for $52.00 against $17.75 raw: a $34.25 spread, 2.9× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($46.92) 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.
