Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Takumi Minamino [Choice Elephant] #133 sells for $875 against $26.90 raw: a $848 spread, 33× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($795) 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.
