Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A PSA 10 Roki Sasaki [Golden Mirror Image Variation] #558 sells for $600 against $133 raw: a $467 spread, 4.5× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($211) 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.
