Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Weequay [Refractor] #80 sells for $64.00 against $28.00 raw: a $36.00 spread, 2.3× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($58.27) 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.
