Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Caleb Williams [Mirror Green] #CST-CWS sells for $95.00 against $29.73 raw: a $65.27 spread, 3.2× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($86.01) 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.
