Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Fernando Tatis Jr. #MA-FTJ sells for $100 against $54.13 raw: a $45.87 spread, 1.8× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($91.00) 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.
