Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A PSA 10 Shohei Ohtani & Yoshinobu Yamamoto [Gold] #US13 sells for $218 against $25.00 raw: a $193 spread, 8.7× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($82.39) 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.
