Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Yoshinobu Yamamoto [Orange] #FSA-YY sells for $836 against $408 raw: a $428 spread, 2.0× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($760) 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.
